Zha cai (榨菜) - Zha cai (English spelling) zhà cài
A type of mustard plant mainly grown in Sichuan Province, China. It also refers to pickles made from it. In Sichuan Province, it is usually sown in September and harvested between December and March. Its cultivation is relatively recent, with records dating back to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is widely cultivated in Sichuan Province, Zhejiang Province, Taiwan, and other areas. Pickles are made using the swollen part of the stem closest to the ground (cai tou), pickled with star anise, fennel, chili peppers, and other spices and salt, and are exported in large quantities overseas. Pickles are generally eaten raw, but the cai is also widely used in stir-fries, stews, and soups.
